Bill Clinton's national security advisor is in deep trouble. He has admitted to taking classified documents from a secure location.From Excite News:
President Clinton's national security adviser, Sandy Berger, is the focus of a criminal investigation after admitting he removed highly classified terrorism documents from a secure reading room during preparations for the Sept. 11 commission hearings, The Associated Press has learned.
Berger's home and office were searched earlier this year by FBI agents armed with warrants. Some drafts of a sensitive after-action report on the Clinton administration's handling of al-Qaida terror threats during the December 1999 millennium celebration are still missing.
Berger and his lawyer said Monday night he knowingly removed handwritten notes he had taken from classified anti-terror documents he reviewed at the National Archives by sticking them in his jacket and pants. He also inadvertently took copies of actual classified documents in a leather portfolio, they said.
"I deeply regret the sloppiness involved, but I had no intention of withholding documents from the commission, and to the contrary, to my knowledge, every document requested by the commission from the Clinton administration was produced," Berger said in a statement to the AP.
Berger served as Clinton's national security adviser for all of the president's second term and most recently has been informally advising Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. Clinton asked Berger last year to review and select the administration documents that would be turned over to the commission.

How 'bout that...another Clinton hack advising John Kerry. It is almost like it is an inside job...the Clinton's are destroying Kerry's chances from within! Nah...just another one of those coincidences. I'm not a big black helicopter conspiracy theory kind of guy... No, really...BIG CLINTON! Lie after lie after lie after lie! This was cooked up in Manhattan (I'd say Arkansas, but we all know better)! I demand another investigation!
